Essential Elements Nutrition's Apple Cider Vinegar-Infused Hydration Sticks were created to replenish electrolytes and help to provide immune support in refreshingly fruity flavors. According to the brand, "each stick contains Apple Cider Vinegar with naturally-occurring electrolytes that – milliliter per milliliter – perform as well as a commercial sport drink for endurance activity performance."
The Apple Cider Vinegar-Infused Hydration Sticks boast zero sugar and the product sets itself apart from many other sports drinks on the market that are loaded with sugar to mask the salty taste of electrolytes. The brand's Blue Raspberry Lemonade, Watermelon Cucumber and Yuzu Lime flavors are useful for quickly replenishing the body after a variety of exercises, sweating or simply being out in the heat.
